What are Factors?
When learners first begin learning multiplication and division, they start understanding the concept of factors.
A factor is the number which is multiplied by another whole number to give a product.
43 gives 12, and in this case 3 and 4 are the factors of 12.
That means it is not divisible by any other number apart from these two numbers.
Some examples include 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, etc.
A composite number is a positive integer that can be formed by multiplying two smaller positive integers.
It has at least 3 factors (including one and the number itself).
Examples of composite numbers included 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, etc.
Why are prime and composite numbers important?
Math is built on numbers and understanding numbers is the very foundation of math.
This makes prime numbers the basic building blocks of numbers.
Numbers can be formed by endlessly multiplying prime numbers over and over again.
Prepping this printable is very simple.
This should be explained to the students prior to starting on the sorting activity.
Learners will place the numbers onto the correct sorting mats.
The printable includes all the prime numbers from 1-100 and some of the composite numbers within 1-100.
